Abstract

The necessary conditions for symmetric and conditional symmetric instability in a frictionless atmosphere are considered on the basis of parcel theory. The relationship between symmetric and conditional symmetric stability, and gravitational and inertial instability is noted. The possible relationship between some mesoscale precipitation bands in extratropical systems and in tropical cyclones, and conditional symmetric instability, is discussed.
